    The Mosaic-HQ cards must be positioned with their heat sinks facing the graphics cards (see Diagram 2). You can have multiple groups of Mosaic-HQ cards and graphics cards but for a video to be displayed on a graphics card, the video source must be connected to a Mosaic-HQ card that is connected to the graphics card.
  • Page 7 Mosaic-HQ cards are marked J9 and J10 and should be connected to the graphics cards as follows: Connect the J9 header on the Mosaic-HQ to the J7 headers on the graphics card. The SIP cable is delicate and great care should be taken when fixing it and removing from the cards.
